Recent articles about Paul Poslusznyen-usWhat’s the Jaguars biggest need now?While the 2018 NFL free agency period isn’t officially over, for all intents and purposes it’s over as far as finding impact players. More or less, the Jaguars are done spending in free agency and their focus will now fall towards the 2018 NFL Draft. The team answered a lot of their needs with veterans, so what’s the next step?
After all the signings, what is the Jaguars biggest need on the team?
For me, I think it’s probably two-fold in linebacker depth and backup quarterback. The latter simply because they literally don’t have one but that’s a topic we’ve discussed anyway.
As for linebacker, I’m not sure I think they need to focus on finding another starter early, as they have Telvin Smith and Myles Jack that will be playing the vast majority of the time, but the overall depth at the position looks to be an issue after Paul Posluszny’s retirement.
So after all the moves, what do you think is the remaining biggest need?19 Mar 2018 14:12:07 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/whats_the_jaguars_biggest_need_now/s1_13318_25983821

Longtime Jacksonville Jaguars middle linebacker Paul Posluszny is retiring from the NFL after 11 seasons, including seven in Jacksonville. Poz is the all-time leading tackler in Jaguars history with 586 solo tackles, 229 assisted tackles and 815 total tackles according to Pro Football Reference. He had 1,214 combined tackles throughout his entire career, including eight seasons with at least 100 tackles.
A Pro Bowler in 2013, Poz captained the Jaguars defense five times. He was originally drafted in the second round by the Buffalo Bills in 2007 (Penn State), and signed with Jacksonville in 2011.
It was clear that Posluszny’s role with the team took a step back in 2017, as younger players like Myles Jack excelled. Poz played in all 16 games, but finished the year with just 61 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
This move likely means that Jack will move to the MIKE linebacker spot full-time, while the Jagu13 Mar 2018 11:40:55 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/paul_posluszny_retires/s1_13318_25929407

Penn State’s second leading tackler of all-time called it career today in the NFL. Paul Posluszny, he of 372 career tackles, announced today that was retiring as a Jacksonville Jaguar.
For those of us of a certain age, Posluszny is the face of an era of Penn State football. As a young teen, I watched Posluszny lead Penn State’s rise back to national prominence in the mid-2000s. During his four years, he twice was named a consensus All-American, twice was selected as the Chuck Bednarik Award winner and one was named the winner of the Dick Butkus Award.
Poz, as he was affectionately called, was drafted in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft at No. 34 by the Buffalo Bills.
He spent the first four years of his career in Buffalo before joining the Jags in 2010.
Posluszny was known as one of the league’s most consistent defensive players as he rarely missed a game in his career and was rewarded with his first trip to the Pro Bowl in 2013.
In 2017, Poz finally made his first trip to th13 Mar 2018 11:35:23 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/former_psu_great_paul_posluszny_announces_retirement_from_nfl/s1_14293_25929284

After spending four seasons with the Bills, Posluszny signed a hefty deal with Jacksonville, and has remained with the club ever since. Last season, he earned the first postseason berth of his career as the Jaguars advanced to the AFC Championship Game before losing to the Patriots.Although he had been an every-down player for the majority of his career, Posluszny’s playing time was drastically reduced in 2017 as the Jaguars got younger and faster at linebacker. While seeing action of fewer than half of Jacksonville’s defensive snaps, Posluszny managed 42 tackles and 1.5 sacks.That’s not to say Posluszny wouldn’t have garnered interest on the free agent market, as PFR had ranked him as the No. 7 available linebacker. Pro Football Focus, too, was a fan of Posluszny’s 2017 work, and had graded him as the league’s 15th-best 13 Mar 2018 11:02:01 -0400http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/jaguars_lb_paul_posluszny_retires/s1_14819_25928822

For 2016, Bortles, Paul Posluszny and Carson Tinker received the honor. This season, the Jaguars will have five captains: Marcedes Lewis, Brandon Linder, Arrelious Benn, Paul Posluszny and Telvin Smith. Bortles has started every Jaguars game each of the past two seasons. However, after getting benched during the preseason, there was uncertainty that would be the case again this season. The benching may have done some good because head coach Doug Marrone said Bortles has looked good enough in practice since then to start for Jacksonville in Week 1.While Bortles once again broke camp as the Jaguars’ starting quarterback, the fact that he was not selected as one of the captains doesn’t exactly speak in glowing terms about his place within the locker room.05 Sep 2017 01:43:50 -0400http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/blake_bortles_no_longer_jaguars_captain/s1_127_24613417

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny played the role of Good Samaritan this week by helping a neighbor prepare for the anticpated wrath of Hurricane Matthew.
Posluszny, in his 10th NFL season and sixth with the Jaguars, was prominently featured in photos posted to Facebook by his neighbor, Karen Adams. The pics showcase Posluszny installing hurricane shutters on Adams’ home on Thursday.
CBS 47/Fox 30 sports director Brent Martineau posted Adams’ Facebook photos on Twitter.

Forecasts predict Hurricane Matthew, a Category 4 storm with winds up to 140 mph, could be nearing the Florida coast near Jacksonville as soon as Friday evening. That means Posluszny’s help couldn’t have come at a better time.06 Oct 2016 15:50:53 -0400http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/jaguars_lb_paul_posluszny_helps_neighbor_with_hurricane_prep_pics/s1_8061_22050646
